those were the main organizers of the rodeo certainly let its presence. the tiny take off many of its affiliated projects. exhibiting the size and breadth of its portfolio there are companies ranging from composite materials to solar panels. the one that caught our eye was a company whose main offering sixty hours in tip top shape. which has grabbed a few headlines in the past. has recently come out with the new. products. so we need distributors. additionally. many times. we still need to

find additional. tomorrow and one of those is photonics whose roots were laid in russia but has since brought it into an international player the firm has developed a new kind of laser scalpel for. could find uses just about anywhere that doctors currently employ a blade. in

the country's thermal and nuclear power plants. these truly purpose built bots. unlike. they did have another very good reason. on the first a total of ten russian companies were singled out at the tech success . and organizers designed the competition to acknowledge the country's fastest developing and most innovative small and medium sized businesses as well as boost their profile on the world stage coming into the ceremony the list had already been whittled down to thirty companies which represented the entire spectrum of industries and regions across russia. created

a company hardware maker enter school and a handful of medical firms on the lookout for the next device are made to keep us all on our feet another one of those in the. electronic archive. catalog but it's also one of the. partners l r co-produce is. all about documentation and just files for. you can also be used for some of the more. for example the push to museum of fine art in moscow is in the process of digitizing many of its most treasured works capturing the timeless beauty of the paintings and objects that grace its walls and hollows requires more than just

a simple. two thousand. the me too thousands of digital technology finally improved to the point. as far as we know everyone switched to digital devices. there's a wide range of devices he. presents. unmatched anywhere in the world. digitization needs the push to museum has turned to. company specializing in super high resolution images they claim their system is the best way to get

a top notch completely objective representation of priceless pieces of art. don't have to take the paintings down from the walls they do need to set up and calibrate the light just right doing so ensures the resulting image is an entirely accurate reproduction of the painting as it is in real life but today the resolution of even the best digital camera really exceeds twenty megapixels. purposes simply isn't enough. to develop an entire set of technologies that allows their technicians to boost picture resolution without warping the image or losing any data through stitching software. this requires a bit more ingenuity than you might think. instead of just snapping one shot of the whole painting at those takes individual pictures of each section. distorting the original demands what's called a shift. at the root is a camera with the usual c.c.d. sensor which is what converts to incoming photons into

a digital image however the lens itself is made to rotate around the center following light and information to the stationary c.c.d. sensor the more separate pictures it snaps the higher the resolution. of painting twelve sections two hundred forty megapixel picture such a clear image. damage. come to the conclusion that the different pieces of og need to be filmed using different color palettes typically this consists of two hundred fifty six color fields just that this may be insufficient for example when we work with complex pieces of art. in such cases we use extended. to fifteen hundred color fields. particular piece we're shooting but to ensure that we give the best possible match. the resulting images are so precise in terms of detail and color that they can serve as the master print against which future potential fakes could be compared to these kinds of super high rez unbelievably

accurate reproductions of the first word when it comes to archiving masterpieces and even for the creation of high quality catalogs. for two dimensional scanning methods do the job for paintings and pictures like these they only give us one side of the story when we talk about three d. objects that means all kinds of additional information is hiding just out of sight in places like the fair a part of monastery technology ensures that no detail is left behind the aging interiors of this beautiful example of medieval russian art has been filmed and put on display for all to see and treasure. here still use the same shift when set up to take additional steps to ensure light is properly evenly cast on the segment that they're filming the images they get are indispensable for stores as they study and understand what exactly needs to be done to keep things like the dionysus fresco around for future generations to enjoy. and the technology employed here has

benefits if you never make it out to the fair part of monastery yourself. as pictures you can explore the walls of survive centuries and you can rest assured knowing that you're seeing the frescoes exactly as they are in real life the color palette is a difficult the lighting presents the image as it was intended. crucially the proper perspective of the arcs and curves are kept intact as a result of the shift lens. therefore you could almost feel the glare of heavenly inspiration jumping out through your screen. but there's another kind of scanning out there that involves a near constant monitoring of the skies this is the moscow ground station of a company called scan x. which is recognized as one of the top thirty innovative companies tech success and we mentioned earlier it all started with rather simple computerized weather stations worked out by moscow state university researchers in one thousand nine hundred one the company developed these helix shaped weather data reception

stations which proved useful for schools and state agencies alike but their big breakthrough came in the mid ninety's when they decide mixed and revolutionized the field of data reception. with. the designed and built a so-called personal data reception station but it was unlike others in that it was much smaller for example there is so three satellite reception stations measure twelve damage one like this one which is about three meters and needed wild one hundred people to maintain it what they want to achieved is that even a person who is not very good with computers. parade the system in the course of two days but it can also be installed on anyone else and street small size and weight. as satellites cas overhead images from space are being down to scale x. is receivers for this company the main idea is to be able to get the pics in real time and they have to set up a network big enough to spend the entire country. in russia itself scanning. the

skies for for its own centers as for the kid for universities as well as state weather emergency and natural resource monitoring agencies in total scallops has played over two hundred fifty stations across the globe. really doesn't operate its own satellite. what it does do is allow for the images to reach those who need them faster and more conveniently than otherwise possible but they're more than just space imaging middle men there technicians have to rework the pics to highlight just what they're looking for. their images which can be a static the stunning in their own right can serve a myriad of purposes many of the space snippets are for government watchdogs but they can also be used by concerned citizens in groups to spot illegal deforestation or even track poachers over their most recognizable alternative applications is likely internet mapping services which they provide for russia's dominant online

matchmaker yandex scale its presence on the market has been driving the industry forward with their strategy having been dictated by financial constraints early on their no helping push a slimmer more effective approach to space imaging was basically demonic belies the market access to data in the process and data went to one big national center then it was either so little distributed freely or depending on whatever the government policy was and by the way in many countries it still works that way we have given users want let's say particularly well off now but you need to get this data on their personal computers is a fundamental change whether good or bad people are going to use it to their benefit depends on us. and how we teach people to use it but it's for the best way we can't ignore the problems that the old faces in the war. that montra lies at the heart of scan x. is cause most are your websites where anyone can monitor potential environmental

problems they've created a similar site especially for government agencies to keep an eye on emergency situations for space there's nowhere for forest fires to hide and scan x. can also help both the authorities and anyone really capture things like oil spills which may not necessarily be obvious to the untrained eye on first glance. then of course some of their shots can be used to simply check up on how construction is progressing in preparation for the olympic games in sochi with two years left until the opening ceremony the landscape being changed right before your eyes. over the years has accumulated. data all told they've got more than two hundred terabytes of space images. which they hope the world a more transparent place. to open innovation given the.

a veritable avalanche of big announcements in the i c world for that reason we've headed out to the newly opened spoke of a cube where many of the world's biggest players are currently setting up shop we've come out here to see just how all the latest moves look from a russian point of view this is i. guess the geeks the world over with ecstasy is out to look to find out a new challenge from a long time so microsoft enthusiastic fans. can be found on both sides of the battle lines. each taking their fight to the web. i'll offer something a little more mobile with its seven inch i pad mini microsoft finally threw his hat in the ring with the surface device basically the overall tablet market is getting more competitive with android devices on the rise held by a new round of google's nexus tabs. change the whole.

to account for one hundred percent of the tablet. just a bit more than fifty percent. nearly the rest of the market is a. very very small sliver of controlled by windows based devices. however in russia. has a little over twenty five percent. of the remaining three quarters of the. devices . people. are more for entertainment for consuming content whereas the microsoft surface for creating content for work is a very convenient cover. that is.

hardware. thrown over operating systems as well. as probably the major. in terms of traditional. systems. computers. to translate that into. the world becomes. they can't sit on the sidelines any longer. the company is paired its surface tablet launch. on the mobile device. has worked hard to reach. but at this

point it is hard to say if they'll be successful but in any case we can sit back and watch with great interest. to showcase their bold new operating system the company holding launch parties across the globe at the end of october likely bodes well for the company though is the fact that in recent years microsoft has shown that it's able to branch out from its traditional strongholds and still find success early lead in terms of gesture recognition software its connect and related gaming systems have proved a major hit for the old and young alike but here the real thing to see is the launch party. of windows eight along with the much touted surface tablet the company has totally revamped its windows operating system from the ground up most surprisingly of all developers have ditched their iconic start button all together one thing probably everyone can agree upon is that a total retooled this client required major work. company employs many specialists engineers and developers. in creating windows for the first versions

over twenty years ago and is true today as we launch windows and. the overarching theme of this new system is to create a similar experience across all devices that means that the way you interact with your home p.c. will be the same as how you surf on your mobile gadgets. all the big news was coming from abroad. russian companies also announced a number of big projects. or. came out with. the one that made the biggest headlines. no less important was their announcement of a new app store for android now. will be able to reconfigure devices. adding a search engine of their own as well as replacing the google android platform.

of course. they won't even need it says they will have. this newly launched gateway to the web is another optimized quote based browser the developers have incorporated the press or. the incoming traffic to allow for faster surfing what used to be just a. combined address and search tool crucially to be another warning sign to google which as you can see by comparing the two companies directly compete on many fronts . appears to be trying to expand its so-called ecosystem. is one of the country's two largest email servers and dominates the search engine game. store to help all of their online products together seamlessly. the world is filled with rumors about

potential partnerships with apple and microsoft these services in russia. products and back channel chats aside producers are confident that they have an ace up their sleeve when it comes to keeping one step ahead of the competition and its biggest and most important markets in a world where information is power looks to be in the poll position. of information. of competition in this. which is also recently come out with

a whole range of announcements starting with its own. to an overhaul of its interface and services. showing that it's not just a one horse race in terms of russian internet tech or you gathered bloggers and tech heads alike for a big event of its own. conference the company seemed to differentiate itself from the likes of you by focusing much more on the lighter perhaps funder side of our online world and the main thing that i took away from the presentations and the event as a whole was the c.e.o. is focused on the intersection of entertainment and information. through appears to be quite comfortable with its focus on the entertainment minded internet users you . three percent of male. network services. clear demonstration. with. company providing
